Yes, music is out there for everyone to enjoy, but that
doesn't mean it's free. If we love the music and
appreciate the creativity and care that went into it, we
need to respect and care for the people who are making
it. That means paying for the
music. You want a release? Buy it and pay for
it. Our releases are worth every penny, and we need
those pennies because -- even though we have this artistic
side -- we have to pay our bills, too.

On the business side, creative music, which deserves some
special treatment and attention, has been lumped together
by the big-time music world with everything else from big,
glitzy pop to tired, old "chestnuts." There
are so many blatant and insidiously "industry standard" practices
that go on in the "music biz" that hurt creative
and independent music every day, that we've had enough
of the lackadaisical, payola-infested music world and are
trying something different. (Click on "No
nonsense attitude" above to read more about what
we mean.

One more thing: copying CDs is wrong. Period. Call
it what you want: "burning" or "ripping" or "duping" --
it's still wrong, and it's not what decent
people do. It's not what people who are fans
of the music do. (We already get so little for the
amount of effort and love and blood, sweat, and tears we
put into our recordings that, honestly, we're actually
probably charging too little for the recordings.)
